Perspective Vs Perception 

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. - Marcus Aurelius

40 years ago the two words were taught differently. People would say that sympathy is when you understand their dilemna, empathy is suffering along with someone.

I like this guy but he got empathy and sympathy backwards.

Where does personal experience or just plain experience come in with this? Is saying from my perspective not from that person's point of view? Perception seems to be the assumption appearing real when it's not. I guess then their perspective is them being in observance of the other person. < That's an artist observing a subject. Perspective is enough knowledge and skill ( experience) to paint the canvas. Perception seems outward, perspective seems inward. Hard to ignore the perceive in it. People will also tell you about you, from their perspective as if they've been observing you from a ledge, but it's really a perception. < They perceived you and now they have perspective? Nah son. like half full, half empty. Did someone pour halfway, or did someone drink half? The cell phone thing is weird cause people think I'm on my phone a lot, but I'm not. They usually see a moment in time and run with it. When I bring up their version of it, then they switch shoes.

So 17 minutes just to say: put yourself in the other person's shoes?

This is an excellent analysis, but that jacket is horrendous, which is how you know the analyst is a good one.

GOOD CONTENT...haha Andrew, my three takeaways, the difference of perspective vs perception, benefits of knowing the difference, managing conversations, possibly predicting possible behaviors, very minor suggestion the shirt at the end; use Polo t shirt , unless you already taped all episodes endings, we look forward to the rest of them

This is what I loved about studying Anthropology, and studying abroad. You get the advantage, from a young age, of seeing just how much the average American's day to day life (a series of actions and thoughts that is rarely if ever questioned) is a series of programmed routines and assumptions.

Wow this is goldmine

Mmmmm. Well, the kind of mirror in a police station is a 2-way mirror. It allows for reflection on one side (like a regular mirror) and the ability to see through, FROM the other side. Basically, you can see something, from both sides. Also, he has sympathy and empathy switched around. Look at the Latin bases. Sympathy is a feeling of compassion or sorrow for what someone is going through. Empathy is "putting yourself in their shoes." You feel with and for them, because you've been through the same thing.

Excellent! So much more could be talked about this. Reminds me of an adage: Seek first to understand and then to be understood.

You have switch the definitions of empathy and sympathy. Empathy is defined as having a greater depth of feeling than sympathy.

Just found you, and this is extremely interesting to me, It seems to me I might have been able to do this in the most miniscule way, I look forward to taking all your classes, and thank you for your service, and valued insights!

My perception now has perspective, thank you!

Awesome content. Love this vid. Definitely going to remember this the next time I buy a car!

I saw your reddit AMA, and just saw you on the David pakman show. Your insights are amazing and eye opening, because I never tied together intelligence training and real world situational awareness.

I liked the way you correlated both examples

"If you had 5 minutes...", but you took more than 17 minutes. Overall, great content, love it.
